Can Real Madrid shine without its stars? Discover the absences against Osasuna

A depleted Real Madrid seeks a triumphant debut against Osasuna in LaLiga. Can the Whites overcome their absences?

Real Madrid-Osasuna is the last clash of the inaugural day of LaLiga EA Sports 25/26. Xabi Alonso will debut as the White's coach at the Santiago Bernabéu, but he will not be able to count on five footballers from his squad for this first match.

Endrick, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rudiger are the players that the Tolosarra technical director will not be able to count on for Tuesday's match.

In the case of Endrick, he has been dragging a hamstring injury since last season, while Camavinga suffered a sprain in his right ankle before the friendly match with WSG Tirol.

On the other hand, Bellingham is recovering from shoulder surgery after finishing the Club World Cup and will be absent until the end of September. The list of injured players ends with Mendy, who suffered a rupture of the proximal tendon of the rectus anterior in his right quadriceps at the end of April.

Antonio Rudiger is the only Real Madrid absentee due to suspension.

There are four players who are part of the Real Madrid infirmary. To them is added Antonio Rudiger, who will not be able to be part of the game on matchday 1 of LaLiga due to suspension.

The German defender must serve the last of his six matches of the sanction he received after his expulsion in the Copa del Rey final, after throwing objects at referee Ricardo De Burgos.

He served the first five suspension games while recovering from surgery for the partial tear in the external meniscus of his left knee in the final stretch of 24/25.

Real Madrid must thrash Osasuna if they want to be the leader of LaLiga

Barça had a devastating start in Son Moix, after thrashing Mallorca 0-3 and, after seven LaLiga matches have been played, the Blaugrana team is the one that has positioned itself as leader on the inaugural day of LaLiga EA Sports 25/26.

For this reason, Real Madrid must win by at least four goals if they want to top the LaLiga standings at the end of the first matchday. This task will not be easy, as the White House will not have five players from its squad in its league debut at the Bernabéu. Will it be enough to be the new leader of LaLiga that has just begun?
